Early on a Sunday

I was up and about very early this morning… as I was out on a Strathtay Rover. I’ve never been out on some of the Sunday only stuff for a long, long time (last time I think was the 45 when it was the Arbroath Caravan Site service in 1989…), apart from local stuff around the City. Today’s sights included the Sunday morning “church bus” (basically a way to get all four town services done in two loops, and get everyone cleverly to where they want to go), the Forfar Solo’s on 27A/23 and 21A/30, the Montrose Solo on 21A/30, a Forfar Dart on the 20C, and the only non-low-floor bus that I saw out was MetroRider 218 on the 8/9 tendered early evening run.


So, today…
716 0845 40 Dundee Bus Station – Arbroath Westway
Breakfast & walk to Hospitalfield
716 1010 42A “Church Bus” Hospitalfield – Bus Station – Cliffburn – Bus Station
252 1135 27A Arbroath Bus Station – Forfar East High Street
254 1235 21A Forfar East High Street – Stannochy Bridge (just outside Brechin).
255 1300ish Stannochy Bridge – Forfar East High Street
315 1335ish 20C Forfar East High Street – Glamis Village
315 1415ish 20C Glamis Village – Forfar East High Street
(driven by an ex-Lynx driver who was very friendly and played with a toddler for about 15 minutes whilst on his layover… and making the journey slightly more pleasant than it would have been otherwise…)
255 1435 21A Forfar East High Street – Brechin – Edzell/Stracathro which then continues as Service 30 back to Brechin and Montrose Station
219 1635 9 Montrose Station – Laurencekirk
219 1705 8 Laurencekirk – Montrose Hume Street
713 1815 40 Montrose High Street – Dundee Bus Station
Right, how many miles was that for my £5.70?
Pictures on Fotopic soon.
